Decided to pick this up after hearing mixed things about it. Mostly of the nitpicking variety. Some say its too simple now and requires no skill, others love that its still a fun franchise.

Nevertheless I must say this game is pretty fun and its your standard Mario Kart hoopla. What makes this game is its incredible online. Absolutely incredible, fast and fluid compared to the mixed bag Brawl delivered.

The only negative about the online is having to play both team battles only and not having it elimination based like it was in the past. Those are the only two things I really don't care for and maybe that stupid item that squirts out the fluid to blacken the screen.

Other than that, it was another Mario Kart Game with some fun new features but its probably Nintendo's best online based game. If only Brawl could have been coded like this.

7/10

I was a fun rent.
Online play is great but single player is ridiculous. They gave the AI way too much "losers luck" this time around. I'd be way out in first on the last lap and have the 12th position guy hit me with two blue shells and then he'd get tons of boosters. Pretty annoying.

Blue shells are definitely more prevalent this time around and the AI catching up can be a bit tedious even on 50cc cups.
